No, but it makes perfect sense that the government should spend money to encourage patriotism, does it not?

Are you saying that once Bush is re-elected, all these things he was doing to pander votes from moderates and the left, will be overturned?
By your logic, wouldn't that cause the next GOP candidate to be looking bad in the polls for the 2008 election?

it makes perfect sense that the government should spend money to encourage patriotism, does it not? What is patriotic about "Piss Christ"?

Why do you think the public--er government schools produce so many socialists? Because they are educated to believe that government is the best thing ever.
Catholic schools produce good catholics, business schools produce people with a business mind, and government schools, well...
That's why they have no business promoting art, or 'patriotism'.
